Utah acquired Conley from the Memphis Grizzlies two years ago. The former No. 4 pick bounced back after a rough debut campaign with the Jazz, averaging 16.2 points and six assists over 51 appearances in 2020-21 en route to his first career All-Star appearance.
Conley's return solidifies the Jazz's starting backcourt and their title-contending status.
The 33-year-old spent his previous 12 seasons with the Grizzlies and is the club's all-time leader in numerous categories, including games played, points, 3-point field goals, assists, and steals.
